The government has failed us Cookie-cutter nutritional advice is not cutting it The diet-du-jour industry fattens its bank accounts and dieters alike Diet scams and miracle weight-loss centers come and go without lasting impact The fast food / processed food industrial complex is more interested in getting us addicted to empty-calorie / high-profit foods than providing even minimally healthy fare And while the food industry and government agencies' orchestras continue to fiddle, the health of Americans sinks faster than the Titanic What you need is a comprehensive strategy, a master plan that trumps Spartan discipline or uber-willpower, which nobody can muster day-in, day-out for years on end. You'll find the weapons you need in the fight against obesity and towards a "new you" throughout the entire book. All you need is the desire to take control of your life and health again. Michael Waldau - Background Born into the culinary epicenter of Vienna, in skiing-obsessed Austria, Michael developed a keen interest in nutrition - related matters and an active lifestyle early in life. Eventually this led to a self-taught education on these subjects. He became a certified Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, and has been an ACE-certified Lifestyle and Weight Management Coach since 1997. When he had to start rehab exercises after a long-delayed knee operation, he didn't stop when the healing process was completed. Instead, he kept going, and 20-plus years later Michael has participated in hundreds of races, including six sub-3 marathons, 18 Ironman-distance events (and counting), qualified for Kona 4 times, and competed at countless other triathlons, duathlons, bicycle races and swim meets. He has been listed as USA Triathlon "Honorable Mention," qualified for "Team USA" and has won State and National age-group titles. This book is Michael's attempt to share his hard-earned knowledge with athletes and non-athletes alike to help them attain their own personal health goals.

An award-winning food writer takes us on a global tour of what the world eats--and shows us how we can change it for the better Food is one of life's great joys. So why has eating become such a source of anxiety and confusion? Bee Wilson shows that in two generations the world has undergone a massive shift from traditional, limited diets to more globalized ways of eating, from bubble tea to quinoa, from Soylent to meal kits. Paradoxically, our diets are getting healthier and less healthy at the same time. For some, there has never been a happier food era than today: a time of unusual herbs, farmers' markets, and internet recipe swaps. Yet modern food also kills--diabetes and heart disease are on the rise everywhere on earth. This is a book about the good, the terrible, and the avocado toast. A riveting exploration of the hidden forces behind what we eat, The Way We Eat Now explains how this food revolution has transformed our bodies, our social lives, and the world we live in.

A clinical psychologist and eating disorder specialist busts common myths around food, nutrition, and weight loss to set you on a path towards healing and self-love. A 10-step approach to ditching diet culture, healing your relationship with food, and cultivating compassion for your body. Diets don’t work—and it’s not your fault. As a culture, we’re told (and tell ourselves) that if we just lose the weight—try a little harder, have a little more willpower, or deprive ourselves for a little bit longer—we’ll be happier, healthier, and more confident. But it’s not true. Clinical psychologist Alexis Conason debunks the myths we’ve been sold about food, nutrition, health, and weight loss, and offers an antidote to the pain and harmful health consequences that result from yo-yo diets, untenable food regimens, and quick fixes. Conason, who is also an eating disorder specialist, shows readers how radically shifting our relationship to food and our own bodies can be incredibly healing, nourishing, and can help us to better love and care for ourselves. Enriched with case studies, practical meditations, stories, lessons, and activities, her 10-step program will help you: • Challenge your assumptions about weight and health • Understand the ways that our emotions can impact how and why we eat • Embrace your “yum” and tune into taste with mindful eating • Trust your body to be your guide and find real fullness Reframing dieting and diet “failure” as pervasive aspects of our culture—not individual failures—The Diet-Free Revolution offers a roadmap to healing, self-acceptance, and radical new ways of relating to and loving our bodies.
